Chapter 308

Shangguan Wan'er found it amusing to watch them bicker.

But she stepped forward to lead the way, not getting involved.

The group followed, full of curiosity; although they didn't speak, their inner curiosity had reached its peak.

According to Gao Tianlong, this gunpowder was clearly more fierce than the methods of alcohol and quicklime!

Lu Zhen said with great vigor, "The Gao family boy's methods are quite ruthless. It's fortunate there's no plague in Changancheng, otherwise he'd probably find a way to get plague-ridden corpses into the Chu camp!"

"But last night's tactic of 'the enemy advances, we retreat; the enemy retreats, we advance' was truly brilliant. Constantly harassing the Chu camp under the cover of night, preventing the Chu soldiers from resting, and making them attack the city with panda eyes in the morning—their combat strength was greatly diminished!"

"I said this boy is from a military family, how could he not know military strategy!"

"Now that he's come up with this gunpowder, I must take a good look!"

Thinking of Gao Yang's methods, Lu Zhen couldn't help but laugh; each tactic was more ruthless than the last.

If he were the Chu commander, he would probably have the urge to kill.

Zhao Ponu also said, "What's laughable is that the Chu army actually tried to imitate us, wanting to keep our army from sleeping too."

"Truly laughable!"

Qin Zhenguo, however, frowned: "We have also encountered some trouble. The Chu army is now following suit and has also come up with some filthy things. This time, I fear our wounded soldiers will also suffer heavy losses."

When this was said, everyone's expressions changed.

Using these methods to destroy Great Chu was satisfying, but being on the receiving end was very uncomfortable.

Lu Zhen said in a deep voice, "In war, how can there be no deaths? Compared to the Chu army, our army has lost far fewer."

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhenguo nodded.

After this battle, these various methods would spread across the seven kingdoms, and even the defensive battles of the seven kingdoms would instantly be raised to a new level.

Shangguan Wan'er said, "Old General Lu can rest assured, Master Gao has long since had countermeasures!"

Once these words were spoken.

Everyone was shocked.

"The Gao family boy can even solve the method of using filthy things to infect wounds?"

Lu Zhen was incredulous.

"Master Gao said to use garlic, and after processing it through certain methods, it can reduce the mortality rate of wounded soldiers."

"Specifically, it's called something like allicin, the name is something like diallyl... it's too much of a mouthful, this official doesn't remember, but Master Gao has already ordered the imperial physicians to prepare it."

Bacterial infection is something that, once it spreads, is almost impossible to treat; after all, Da Qian has no antibiotics like cephalosporin.

But Da Qian has garlic!

Garlic is flat and spherical, with multiple cloves arranged together; it can not only be used for seasoning but also for medicinal purposes!

The allicin within it, scientifically known as diallyl thiosulfinate, can kill bacteria and fight inflammation!

Whether by distillation or soaking and filtering in alcohol, allicin can be obtained, though the extraction efficiency is relatively low.

But for wounds with aggravated contamination, it has a certain effect!

Lu Zhen felt a bit jealous.

Gao Tianlong knew about the gunpowder, Shangguan Wan'er knew about allicin, and he, Lu Zhen, had at least given Gao Yang a great tonic for his body.

Calling himself a second parent would not be an exaggeration.

Yet he knew nothing...

Meanwhile.

Wu Zhao and Gao Yang arrived a step ahead outside the heavily guarded alchemist courtyard.

Gao Yang looked serious, "Your Majesty, after this time, the gunpowder must be transported outside the city for development."

Wu Zhao was curious and frowned: "Why?"

"This is too dangerous. Your subject fears that if the quantity becomes large, once it is accidentally detonated, Your Majesty will be blown to bits, not even leaving bones behind."

Wu Zhao: "..."

Wu Zhao was not in the least bit angry, but instead took these words to heart. To be able to make someone as cowardly as Gao Yang issue a warning, these words were definitely not a joke.

Gunpowder is very dangerous!

Very soon.

After receiving the order, an alchemist wearing Taoist robes walked out holding a grenade.

"Stop!"

"Go further away first, then detonate it!"

Seeing the alchemist in Taoist robes walking over, Gao Yang immediately called for a halt.

This thing must be kept at a safe distance.

"My Lord, this humble one has studied this object quite a bit; there will be no trouble."

The alchemist in Taoist robes said.

"This official doesn't care, I'm mainly afraid of startling Your Majesty."

Seeing this, Wu Zhao also remained cautious and said, "Go further away, don't splatter me with blood."

Under the watch of the guards, the alchemist could only keep retreating until he had withdrawn fifty meters.

Only then did Gao Yang nod.

"There are two types of grenades that your subject has come up with. The first is an ordinary grenade using powdered gunpowder, and the other is a granular gunpowder with egg whites added to remove impurities and sugar added."

Gao Yang explained deliberately.

Wu Zhao's eyes also showed anticipation; according to Gao Yang, the gunpowder with sugar added would naturally have even more terrifying power.

"Begin!"

Wu Zhao couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart and gave the order.

Gao Yang also nodded to the alchemist.

Seeing Gao Yang nod, the alchemist signaled with his hand, then immediately lit the fuse and threw the grenade to the side.

Immediately after, with lightning speed, he ran to the side, and with a standard flying dive, he lay flat, covering his ears.

His movements were so proficient it was heartbreaking.

Gao Yang had thought he was a fool, but he didn't expect him to run so fast when it was time to run.

But these professional movements and posture made even Wu Zhao nervous.

She also covered her ears.

Immediately after.

One second,

Two seconds,
